enjoying every second of life and running

Turkey Festival – 5K – 20:06

Today’s race was out of town and I didn’t judge the time right and we were running late. I stood in a long line to get our bibs only to find out they had given my number to someone else. So I ended up spending the rest of the time working it out with the race director to get me a new number. I was planning to do a longer warm up than usual and instead I ended up with very little warm up at all. After a few quick hellos to our friends it was time to get to it.

This course is flat and has few turns, making it a good opportunity to PR. Our friend Ryan had given me specific goals. He wanted the first mile at 6:13-6:15 and the second at 6:30. I still owed him a 12:45 and I was able to deliver! I also PRed by over a minute!

My time was 20:06!! 2nd in my Age Group!

Rob PRed as well with 19:16!! 2nd in his Age Group!
